Hector and Andromache.

When Hector passed through the gates into the city, hundreds of Trojan women crowded round him, asking what had happened to their sons or husbands.

But he said nothing to them, except to bid them to pray that the gods would protect those whom they loved.

When he came to the palace, there met him his mother, Queen Hecuba.

She caught him by the hand and said, O Hector, why have you come from battle?

Have the Greeks been pressing you hard?

Or have you come, maybe, to pray for help from Father Zeus?

Let me bring a cup of wine, that you may pour out an offering to the god.

Ay, and that you may drink yourself, and cheer your heart.

But Hector said, Mother, give me no wine, lest it should make my knees weak, and take the courage out of my heart.

Nor must I make an offering to the gods with my hands unwashed.

What I would have you do is this.

Gather the mothers of Troy together.

and take the most beautiful and precious robe that you have, and go with them and lay it upon the knees of Athena.

And pray to her to keep this terrible diomede from the walls of Troy.

And do not forget to promise a sacrifice of twelve heifers.

And I will go and call Paris, and bid him come with me to the battle.

Of a truth I could wish that the earth would open her mouth and swallow him up, for he is a curse to his father, and to you his mother.

and to the whole city of troy then queen hecuba went into her palace and opened the store where she kept her treasures and took out of it the finest robe that she had and she and the noblest ladies that were in troy carried it to the temple of athena then the priestess who was the wife of antinor received it from her hands and laid it upon the knees of the goddess making this prayer o lady athena keeper of the city

Break, we beseech thee, the spear of Diomed, and make him fall dead before the gates of Troy.
